Do they even MAKE windscreens for the Snowball? I've never seen ones big enough.

Also, it's purely a question of money. At present my coping mechanism is to simply record about ten inches from the mic and compress the audio to compensate.

Hardly ideal, but it's what I'm stuck with at the moment.

Any standard 6" pop filter will work. You might have to rig something up to mount it. If all else fails, duct tape the thing to the stand. They're dirt cheap on amazon.

I confirm they're really cheap. I bought a microphone last year and the pop filter was included; a real life savior. (Now I'm just waiting on the new phantom alim and cables :3)

Bruh, You should really REALLY consider voice acting as a career.

Extremely sexy, makes me almost willing to resume developing my platformer engine.

You do realize way more goes into voice acting than just knowing what hardware to use, right?

That's absolutely true. Good thing I have years of experience in acting on stage in addition to a plethora of acting classes I took in college which is more experience than a lot of professional voice actors have.

Not really sure what you're trying to imply with that passive aggressive comment.

[Dracula9]

Wasn't implying anything--was correcting the possibility that KaZudra was making a blanket statement since it came from a very basic hardware suggestion rather than any of the actual acting and vocal training that goes into VA. I'm well aware of your background and obviously have no reason to do something like pretend it doesn't exist.

Plus, as someone working towards it, why wouldn't I be inclined to make a correction if someone sees a hardware statement and goes "you should be a real voice actor" as a reply? That's not really what goes into doing it--hardware is just hardware.

Good job flipping your lid there.

Not on my thread, guys. Take this to PM.

[Dracula9]

'Sall good. I have nothing to start.

[Belmontoya]

It behooves any voice actor to be familiar with different microphones and gear used in the studio. Especially those who record at home.

But the most important part is the acting by far. And I think you're good at both. As I said, it was a nitpick.

That was a pop of the lid, not a flip. Because I take acting that seriously.

But thanks for clarifying that you weren't trying to passive aggressively imply that I know nothing about acting. Because that's how it came across.

It was just a misunderstanding.

Both of you guys are doing great work.

[KaZudra]

Just to clarify: The voice acting is extremely good for Dracula.

Hello! Today I come to unveil one more artist contributting to Umbra of Sorrow: Aensland!

Aensland has composed fan tracks before, some of which you can find on Vampire Variations III, which you'll remember as a project helmed by Chernabogue.

Aensland has already contributed three arranges for this project at this time, two of which I'll post here. He plans on contributting more, but I'll probably withhold them so all is not spoiled at once For now, take a listen:

Into The Mirror [Entrance ~ Legends] -- Track meant for Umbra's incarnation of the Dracula's Castle Library.
Vampire's Stomach ~Hesitant Night~ [Final battle ~Bloodlines] -- The track you'll hear when the Count first meets Julius Belmont.

Also, something partially unrelated: For now all I've shown are arranges, but there are original tracks being created for this project too. So, expect to listen something new in the near future!

[Chernabogue]

Aensland keeps improving each time. Those are nice tracks.

[Dracula9]

Just to clarify: The voice acting is extremely good for Dracula.

Ah, well thanks!

Hitting that intonation is a killer on the throat (hooray for Throat Coat tea!), so I'm glad the efforts are appreciated and as well-received as they've been so far.

Hopefully I can keep holding to this standard, heh.

[theplottwist]

So, as you must have seen by now, Intersection has contributed with a 100% original track for this project. He created a thread for it, but I'm posting it here for "search" and organization purposes.



The track is named "Last Light" but I'm not saying what is it being used for. I'll just say it's meant for one very badass moment in the plot.

Soon, as with all public-available tracks, it'll be posted on the first page of this thread.
